Along the way, we didn't talk, because I didn't think I could talk to them. I just closed my eyes and recharged my energy to work.
Chen Wei made a big deal this time and specially booked plane tickets. By night, we also arrived at that place, but it was already getting late. If we walked further forward, we would be in no man's land, so we simply looked around. Stayed in a hotel.
"There are still more than a hundred kilometers away from where we want to go. It's a bit late today. We will set off tomorrow."
Chen Wei held a yellowed map in his hand, made a rough estimate, and said it to a few of us.
But when I went over to look at it, Chen Wei put the map away.
"You're not so stingy, are you?"
I'm a little surprised, isn't it just a map? After we received the deposit, we will definitely accompany him to find what he wants.
I didn't expect this guy to be so stingy and didn't even show us a map.
Chen Wei smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry, I hope you can understand."
He didn't give us any explanation, just said this, turned around and walked into the room.
"Brother Chen, do you think this guy is reliable? This is the first time I've ever seen him hold a map in his hand and not let us see it."
Liu Bao was holding a tea cup in his hand. He was indeed feeling hungry and thirsty during the walk.
I smiled helplessly. This was the first time I encountered such a situation, but since he is the employer, we can do whatever he says.
"You guys should rest here first, I'll go out and take a look at the surrounding situation."
When I first arrived here, I felt like there was something around here. It always felt a bit eerie, as if there were countless pairs of eyes looking at us.
With that said, I walked out, and before leaving, Xu Jinxiu also followed.
"Why, it's been a long and dusty journey, why don't you take a break?"
I turned around and looked at Xu Jinxiu and said, but Xu Jinxiu smiled.
"How much do you know about this treasure-holding man?"
She pulled me outside, obviously still a little suspicious of this Chen Wei.
"Why do you suspect there is something wrong with him?"
Although there is a trace of doubt in my heart, in our industry, isn’t it like living a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife?
Besides, now that they have given us the deposit, it would be unreasonable to regret it.
"He hasn't even told us anything specific yet, so aren't you afraid that we will never come back from this trip?"
After walking two or three steps, Xu Jinxiu spoke.
I smiled, there was nothing I could do about it. If you want to do this, you have to take life and death lightly. If you are timid, you won't achieve anything.
I didn't say anything and took Xu Jinxiu around the hotel where we were staying.
This is the only supply point within a hundred miles. After getting off the plane, we followed Chen Wei in his jeep.
In addition to this hotel, there is also a convenience store nearby.
"Would you like to go to the mountains and watch the stars for a while?"
Suddenly, Xu Jinxiu looked up at me, which surprised me.
I didn't realize that Xu Jinxiu had such a hobby for so long.
"Then let's go, you've already spoken, I can't disturb your mood, can I?"
Xu Jinxiu smiled slightly and led me towards the hill nearby.
But having said that, this place is relatively far from the city, there is basically no air pollution, and the night sky looks particularly beautiful.
The bright moonlight filled the entire hill, and occasionally a few insect chirps came over, which made me feel a different kind of tranquility and comfort.
Xu Jinxiu and I sat on the stone and looked at the stars in the distance. Xu Jinxiu seemed to have something on her mind and was depressed all the time. I didn't know how to persuade her.
This girl! Like it's made of water.
"Have you...been scared?"
Suddenly, Xu Jinxiu spoke to me, with an unconcealable sadness in her tone.
Her words stunned me for a while before I finally came to my senses.
I was a bit dumbfounded.
"I was afraid, but as time went by, I wasn't afraid anymore."
I touched my nose and smiled relaxedly at her. In fact, everyone hides many secrets in their hearts. Many times, these secrets will oppress themselves, make people breathless, and also affect their emotions.
After Xu Jinxiu listened to my words, she fell silent and sighed quietly after a while.
Just when the two of us were silent and didn't know what to say, Liu Bao ran over in a hurry.
"You two are so elegant."
Liu Bao said breathlessly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Liu Bao's somewhat panicked look, the two of us had only been out for a while, so there wouldn't be another accident.
"The treasure-holding man is gone."
No wonder Liu Bao was so panicked. What on earth was this guy doing? How could he disappear so easily?
Xu Jinxiu and I immediately sat up and asked Liu Bao to speak clearly.
"The store just brought some food to the table. I wanted to give it to the treasure-holding man, but when I got to the door, I knocked on the door for a long time and there was no response."
"I thought he had gone out and didn't care. But when I just returned to the room, I suddenly heard a cry for help. The sound was exactly the same as someone suffocating to death."
Hearing what Liu Bao said, Xu Jinxiu and I looked at each other. When we were patrolling just now, nothing unusual happened at all.
"Did you hear wrongly?"
Xu Jinxiu also became anxious. After all, the employer disappeared before work officially started.
Liu Bao shook his head, "I asked Liu Siyuan to go up and look for him. The person holding the bag was not in the room at all, and the window was still open."
When I heard this, I realized something was seriously wrong.
Could it be that those feelings I had before were all true?
"Let's go!"
I grabbed Xu Jinxiu and Liu Bao and ran towards the hotel where we lived.
"Isn't this guy running away?"
Liu Bao asked with a frown.
"This is unlikely. Logically speaking, there is no need for him to trick us into this place."
I can't believe it either, because this matter is so strange. From beginning to end, nothing Chen Wei did seemed to be deceiving us.
Then it can only mean that Chen Wei is really in danger?
When we arrived at the place, the shopkeeper's face was pale. Judging from his expression, he seemed to know something.
"Has the person not been found yet?"
I looked at Liu Siyuan and Mute beside me, and they shook their heads.
At this time, the store owner raised his head and told us a shocking secret.
The room where Chen Wei lived had a supernatural phenomenon happen before.
Someone once saw a thing with white hair and a green face and fangs inside, which looked like a ghost.
Although the police was later called, no investigation was carried out.
There have been people who disappeared before, and that room was not originally intended to be occupied.
But today we have so many people here and there is no place to stay, so we can only open the room again.
After hearing this, Xu Jinxiu and I looked at each other.
If there really is a ghost, it is impossible for Chen Wei to disappear for no reason.
And when will Li Gui have white hair?
With white hair?
Suddenly I seemed to realize something.
He hurriedly pulled Liu Bao and ran out.
"Brother Chen, why don't we go to the room and take a look first?"
Liu Bao was dragged out by me before he could react, and he asked as he ran.
"You won't find anything in the room. Trust me and follow me."
I pulled Liu Bao and ran to the open space outside the window of the room where Chen Wei lived.
Liu Wei lives on the third floor, but there is a hill next to it, and Liu Wei's room is only about five meters away from the hill.
Something with white hair cannot be a ghost at all.
It might be some kind of creature in this barren mountain.
Sure enough, when we arrived at that place, we discovered two footprints on the ground.
Judging from the footprints at the scene, the person who can create such a large grip must not be less than two meters in size.
He should have jumped directly from the mountain to the window of Chen Wei's room.
The reason why only Chen Wei's room encountered this kind of thing was because only Chen Wei's room had windows on this side.
After hearing my speculation, Liu Bao gave a thumbs up.
"You go and call someone, I'll go take a look first."
I told Liu Bao that when the monster took Chen Wei away, it left some traces on the ground.
If my guess is correct, after the monster captured Chen Wei, he would definitely take him to the lair.
Liu Bao nodded when he heard this, turned around and left.
I followed those traces, climbed over the hill, and ran towards the flat land in front of me.
After a while, I followed the traces and came to the mountain forest.
At this time, the traces were completely invisible, so I could only bite the bullet and walk inside.
In order to prevent Xu Jinxiu and others from finding me when they come over.
I left some traces along the way.
"Woo~"
I don’t know how long I’ve been walking, but I suddenly heard a whining sound, as if someone’s mouth was being covered.
"Is it Chen Wei?"
This was my first reaction, and I quickly followed the sound.
The sound came from a dark cave.
As we walked towards the cave, the sound became more and more obvious.
I turned on the flashlight in my hand and saw Chen Wei through the faint light.
But at this time, his mouth was stuffed with some fur, and he was huddled in the corner, trembling all over, and his eyes were full of fear.
The moment I saw Chen Wei, I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened to Chen Wei.
When Chen Wei noticed me, his eyes that should have relaxed became even more nervous.
My legs kept kicking, as if I had something to say to me.
I was wondering when I suddenly felt a chill behind me. I thought I might understand Chen Wei's reaction.
The guy who dragged Chen Wei here should be behind me at the moment.
